Junior and Senior Infants worked really hard last week on our Christmas writing task. A big focus in our Infant classroom is pencil grip and we have been working hard on this. The children drew lovely Christmas pictures to accompany their writing.

  The children did some great writing today. We read a story called 'Moon Mouse'. We talked about going to space and all the things we would need to bring with us. The children did super writing and drew lovely pictures. We also created our own planets using marbling inks. The children really enjoyed this and loved mixing the various colours to create their own planets.

Maths Station Fun

We were very busy last week exploring measures in Junior Infants. We were exploring capacity and have been learning about - full, empty, half full, almost full and almost empty. Junior Infants had lots of fun at the water, sand and rice station exploring these concepts. They were excellent at comparing containers and using the new words to describe their containers. We also explored length and height at two stations where children built tall towers, long snakes and long chains. Again, they were excellent at  comparing different towers and chains using their maths vocabulary e.g. long, longer, longest, short, shorter, shortest, tall, taller, tallest.  Look at the lovely steps going from short to tall. Super work! What a long chain! Empty, half full and full containers. Super work! Empty and full containers! Comparing two towers using our words short, tall, taller.  Comparing two snakes!
